1. Have friends who invite you to stay at their fabulous place on Molokai, the most undeveloped of the Hawaiian Islands.
2. After number 1 is fulfilled the rest is easy.
3. Walk across the parking lot, saying hello to a resident peacock, then on to the beach path.
4. Follow the path through the waving grass.
5. Soon you start hearing the breakers. They're especially loud today.
6. Keep walking, taking in the beauty and the majestic sound of the waves.
7. Find a good rock to leave your shoes.
8. Keep walking, enjoying the resistance of the sand, feeling it cover your feet as you move down to the softer areas. Marvel at the unbounded power and beauty of nature.
9. Take enough photos to satisfy your desire to preserve this moment. (No breaker or spray on the rocks is safe from my camera!)
10. Find a flat rock that's fairly comfortable with a good view that you will eventually force yourself to ignore.
11. Give thanks for it all. Fill your eyes with the glory of nature and being here at this peaceful moment. Then, do the hardest thing of all - close your eyes. Focus on that other glorious beauty, which is eternal and all-satisfying: the spiritual eye.

After you force yourself to close your eyes, the outer and the inner beauty seem to merge ... seaside meditations are magnificant! So grateful for this place and the opportunity to share it with you!
